We offer the TaxACT Consumer 1040 program, the Consumer Business programs (1120, 1120S and 1065), and the Estates and Trusts (1041) program in two different formats. We offer TaxACT Online (Over the Web) and TaxACT Desktop (Download/CD-ROM). We have provided information regarding the format differences and the programs available for each below.

TaxACT Online (Over the Web)

The TaxACT Online (Over the Web) format is intended to be used for one taxpayer's return. Each taxpayer needs to create a unique Username and Password. The account is accessed by choosing to sign in on our website. When using TaxACT Online, you are charged for the use of the product you have selected to use. You will be charged for the product at the time you choose to print, view a PDF copy of the return, electronically file the return(s) or receive technical or taxpayer support via the phone. There is not an additional fee to print or e-file the return.

TaxACT Desktop (Download/CD-ROM)

Whether you are preparing just your own return or if you are assisting a few of your family members with their tax returns, one of the TaxACT Desktop programs should meet your needs. The TaxACT Desktop program is downloaded/installed on to the hard drive of your computer. As the desktop program can be used to prepare multiple returns, there is an additional charge to file electronically. There is not an additional charge to print returns.

You can use TaxACT to prepare your business tax return. Which tax product you should use depends on how your business is organized. If you have a sole proprietorship or a single-member LLC, you likely can file a Schedule C on your personal Form 1040 tax return. For a formal partnership, you should file Form 1065. For an S-Corporation, you should file Form 1120S. For a C-Corporation, you should file Form 1120. See IRS Publication 3402 for more information on which form to use for your LLC. Over the Web business accounts are intended for single business use only and must be created using a unique username.
